    I'm afraid that if I tried to operate a drone and a boat at the same time it would end with disastrous results! I'll have to let someone else man the drone.

    Probably some good thinking there since they can be fairly complicated, but when you get the gameplan set up they are a breeze. I set mine in a certain position which is held by GPS with the camera angled down where I wanted it away from the sun and at the right height (about 20') and then it was just a matter of triggering the video to start and stop as I first ran towards the drone, then away, then sideways. I tried the follow me mode but the drone would stop after it could not keep up - bummer! (DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone with iPad Air 2 tablet)

    The 23' with the 250hp Merc outboard hit a new record speed on the way in this evening of 57mph. We spent another fun afternoon on this 29 year old boat today.
